Itinerary

Day 1

Mountain Skills in Practice

Meet your qualified Mountain Leaders before heading into the Lake District mountains for the first guided hike. Throughout the day, you’ll develop practical skills in route planning, navigation, weather awareness, equipment choices and moving safely across mountain terrain.

Optional Overnight

Wild Camping

Those choosing the wild-camping option will spend Saturday night in the mountains. You’ll learn how to select a suitable location, pitch a lightweight tent, prepare food and camp safely and responsibly. Camping equipment can be hired for an additional cost.

Day 2

Navigation, Safety & Confidence

The second guided mountain hike puts your new skills into practice. You’ll build confidence navigating with a map and compass, consider hazards and changing conditions, and learn what to do in an emergency, leaving you better equipped to plan your own mountain adventures safely.

What Our Hikers Say

Hike Club is such an inclusive, positive and well organised initiative led by Adam who couldn’t be more welcoming. Amazing routes with the most beautiful scenery. A pace to suit all. Each person made to feel super confident to take your time. The community/crowd/following Adam has makes the hikes even more enjoyable, a lovely, likeminded and social group. I have done a few group hikes and Hike Club was by far the best. Highly recommend ! 💯

I recently joined one of your hikes for the first time and just wanted to say thank you for organising it. It felt like a really safe, non-judgemental space, which made it easy to relax, enjoy the experience and connect with some great people. It was clearly well organised and well led, and I really appreciate the effort that goes into putting something like this together… it definitely didn’t go unnoticed. I’d happily join again!

I've been on 3 Hikes now, always attending alone but never feeling alone. They just keep getting better & the sun brighter. You will find yourself smiling with the views and laughing with strangers all day..its exhaustingly fun.

You made a lot of people smile today. Thank you for organising and a lovely walk xx

it was really great to meet you Adam and join you all yesterday, I loved the hike! I thought the whole day was really well run, welcoming and well paced! Also great for solo hikers, lovely to meet new people! Thank you ☺️

Firstly I would just like to say thank you for creating and organising such a great hiking group. The people are so lovely and welcoming for my first time doing anything like this. I was very nervous and apprehensive but soon as I met you all I instantly felt calm. You especially was very friendly and made me feel welcome in the group from the get go. I have gained a lot of confidence since the hike and I will definitely be joining you all again! 👌🏼☺️
